#HeyJune Back in the day I read a TON of legal thrillers and John Grisham was my go to #paperbackwriter 💙 I must have bought every book he wrote in the 80‘s and early 90‘s but I have no clue where they went🤷🏼♀️I won The Whistler from GoodReads last summer but it‘s still sitting on the TBR shelf 😕 His first book, A Time To Kill is still one of my favorites.
TrishB Great graphic 👍🏻 I read a load back in the day but they just don‘t attract me now! Changing reading tastes 🤷♀️ 6y
AshleyHoss820 My Mom had a TON of Grisham books too! 😊 Which makes it weird that I haven‘t read him yet! I didn‘t do it on purpose, I just haven‘t got around to it! 😄 I should fix that! 6y
CouronneDhiver I love him too. My guilty pleasure 6y

Cathythoughts I don‘t think I ever read him. Maybe I‘ll try A Time To Kill !! 👍🏻 6y
Cinfhen Ha, so now im in the Mom book category @AshleyHoss820 😂😂definitely try A Time To Kill @Cathythoughts I wonder if it still stands the test of time... I agree @TrishB at some point his books became generic and I lost interest but he still was a suspenseful writer 💕💕 @CouronneDhiver im NOW tempted to pick up![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Whistler 6y
The WhistlerCathythoughts Cindy the mom book category is great ! Wait till you hit the granny book ( back to childrens books again) category 😂( only joking ! I‘ve never been happier ! (edited) 6y
Cinfhen Ha, I can‘t wait!!! Granny category sounds wonderful 😁 @Cathythoughts (edited) 6y
AshleyHoss820 @Cinfhen 😂😂 If it helps, my Mom is pretty awesome and youthful! 😄😄😄 6y
BarbaraBB I loved A Time to Kill too, and The Firm. Then I bailed on The Pelican Brief and somehow never read him again. But he is a good #paperbackwriter for sure! 6y
Cinfhen Yes!!! That makes a HUGE difference 😘 @AshleyHoss820 6y
Cinfhen Oh, you bailed on Grisham early @BarbaraBB 😂😉I rode the Grisham wave for years!!!! 6y
Bourriquet76 Time to Kill is still on my top 10 list, since high school. 6y
Kimberlone I went through a Grisham and Chricton phase during high school 6y
Cinfhen I think that book is worthy @Bourriquet76 is it on the #GAR list!?!! It should be!! I wonder if Crichton is too @Kimberlone ?!?Jurassic Park 6y
Jurassic ParkKimberlone @Cinfhen I forget if it is but I wouldn‘t be surprised... 6y
SledgeReader #GAR!!! Aaahhh!! Missed the vote again yesterday. 😭 @Cinfhen I think A Time to Kill is his best one. The stories of him driving to libraries in the Southeast to sell copies from the back of his trunk are legendary That‘s exactly how we got ours!! 6y
SledgeReader @AshleyHoss820 @Cathythoughts @CouronneDhiver @TrishB @Cinfhen I loved his books when he was fresh and never missed one. Then they started getting a little formulaic - but not to the degree of Baldacci. Love them both but only pick them up when Im looking for a nostalgic reading experience. I spent a LOT of time reading them when my kids were younger. Ouch! Mom books! 6y
Cinfhen Yup!!! #MOMbooks but Grisham did satisfy my bookish wants when my kids were little and I needed a quick easy escape @SledgeReader I LOVE the Grisham story about selling personally to libraries!!! That‘s pretty awesome 💜😊 6y
alisiakae I liked him during the same phase that I read Crichton, Tom Clancy and Dean Koontz, all authors that I have not read in years, although two of them make it on to the #GAR list! 6y
Cinfhen So I know Koontz did, was Clancy the other?? @4thhouseontheleft 6y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft You guys just inspired me. Memory is Grisham is not on #GAR. But he is one of the highest circulating authors in our library system and we have the highest circ in the state. I‘ve got to figure out how these books were selected. 6y
Cinfhen It‘s a little disappointing NOT to have Grisham on the list @SledgeReader I think he earned a spot, more so thanFifty Shades of Grey 6y
Fifty Shades of GreySledgeReader @Cinfhen I couldn‘t agree more! 6y
alisiakae @Cinfhen Jurassic Park by Crichton is on the list. 6y
CouronneDhiver Ha! Mom books. Maybe so. 😂 I just like that they‘re easy pallet cleansers. I read loads of them as a teen. 6y
Cinfhen I‘m looking at this collage and remembering how much I enjoyed his books @CouronneDhiver ❤️👍🏻 6y
Bourriquet76 The lack of Grisham on the GAR list is perplexing. Even the books that aren‘t my cup of tea are mostly logical. Except 50 Shades. If you tell me how great those are, I‘m silently judging. 😂😂😂 6y
Bklover I read so many Grishams back in the day that I burned myself out on them. Loved A Time to Kill! 6y
ValerieAndBooks My younger son likes Grisham, so I‘ve read a couple. Not bad! 6y
